Dee-31, 1915. 
-. Two other special. events. of this 
convention were the reception by 
Pres. Wilson of all the delegates, at 
the White. House, when he shook 
hands with every one of us and smil- 
ingly. remarked on the.very large 
number (about five hundred); and 
the demonstration. for Dr... Anna 
Shaw, when she was made Honorary 
Vice-President of the National, for 
tife,—which. was the most moving and 
beautiful scene I have ever had the 
honor to take part in. The great hail 
was a sea of yellow and pink roses, 
which finally fell in gentle waves at 
the feet of the venerable lady, who 
stood, for the first time in her life, 
overcome and bereft of words,-— 
while we all sang “The Star Spangled . 
Banner” and “Onward, Christian 
Soldiers.” 
Mrs. Stanley McCormick (Kati- 
erine Dexter of Boston) had refused 
to be a candidate for any office, but 
was elected second vice-pres. A very 
large share of the work of the con- 
~ yention fell upon her, and she pre- 
sided part of the time. Miss Alice 
Stone Blackwell, the Massachusetts 
president, was one of those who 
spoke at the hearing before the Sen- 
ate Committee (a committee entirely 
favorable to us). 
One of the most encouraging points 
in this convention was the progress of 
the Cause in the Southern States,— 
the enthusiasm of the Southern wom- 
-en is wonderful. But the greatest 
inspiration of it all is the getting to- 
gether of the best women from every 
part of the country, all working to- 
gether, not as Southerners or North- 
erners or Westerners, but as Amer- 
icans, working for the best kind of 
Preparedness,—preparedness for good 
government. 
With New Year greetings to the 
_ Editor, and with “peace and good 
will” to all. us

“Town Topics’ CoMING TO THE 
SHUBERT THEATRE, Boston. 
The coming to Boston, at the Shu- 
bert Theatre next week, of “Town 
Topics” will mark the last word ‘in 
theatrical prodigality, for this big 
mtisical spectacle is the most gigantic 
entertainment ever brought out of 
New York. The original cost of the 
production, when “Town Topics” 
was produced at the Century Theatre, 
New ‘York; ‘last “September, “‘was 
$150,000 and with the exception of 
one scene, which required the revol- 
ving stage of the Century, the entire 
production is being brought here by 
the Messrs. Shubert. It will require 
ten or more baggage cars to’ trans-

travelling company numbers over 150

will be several hundred persons on 
the stage. One scene alone—the

of over $30,000 in the gowns worn
